Orchids are a lot easier to work with and grow than many other plants. they do not mind getting wet their blooms wet so long that they are not in the sun. They like a nice lit room with indirect sun sheers work. They can tolerate the sun in the winter. The best way to get them to bloom is to lower the temperature at night by at least 5 degrees. Dendrobriums require to be very cool in order to bloom with a minimum temperature of 40 degrees at night . With orchids it is all about knowing about where they come from and this dictate their requirements. Enough about orchids picture of my paphiopedilum (lady slipper orchids.)
